How can I help you?

The puzzle game community is constantly growing and with an ever-expanding range of puzzle games, murder mysteries and other immersive experiences, it is hard to keep on top of what’s on offer. I’m very keen to help promote new games and experiences across my website and social media. There are several ways I can help!

Reviews

I love playing and reviewing new games & experiences! If you have a game that you think fits on the site, I’d love to hear from you. My main areas of focus currently are:

  • Tabletop Puzzle and Mystery Games (including Print and Play)
  • Murder Mystery and Detective Games
  • Puzzle Books
  • Immersive Experiences

If you need a review completed in a certain time frame, please make this clear in your email. It isn’t always possible to turn a review around straight away due to the number of games in my pile but I will do my best to accommodate. My reviews are an honest and fair reflection of the game and, as such, they may highlight negatives as well as positives. If a review is likely to be particularly negative then I will reach out to discuss this with you.

Don’t be discouraged from emailing if you are a smaller independent company, I’d love to hear from you! Please drop me an email at reviews@escapepuzzler.com and we can discuss this further. You can see examples of my reviews on this site.

Crowdfunding promotion

If you have a new game, puzzle book or experience launching soon on a crowdfunding platform, get in touch! I may be able to feature a link on the website and/or write a preview to publish around the same time as the campaign launch.

Playtesting

I have a wealth of experience playing puzzle games in their many forms. If you’d like me to playtest one of your upcoming games, drop me an email at playtest@escapepuzzler.com with more details and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Please make it clear how quickly you will require feedback.

Review Policy

As a puzzle game enthusiast, I am keen to support and champion creators and therefore you will find that my reviews tend to skew towards being more positive. I don’t shy away from negative feedback and will always highlight the things I don’t like about a game. I am not, however, here to tear people down. What I love about the community is that everyone supports each other and generally creators are keen to learn and improve.

My reviews accurately reflect my personal opinions about all aspects of each game. This is really important to me. I do not inflate scores or falsely misrepresent my views simply because a game has been gifted to me. If I feel that something can be improved, I highlight this and also feed it back to the creator.

I always indicate if a game has been provided in exchange for a review. More often than not, the games that are gifted to me are games I would purchase or want to purchase anyway. I simply cannot afford to buy every game I would love to cover on the site.
